Honey... as a nute?

Honey isn't a nutrient. It's much cheaper to use EJ HiBrix molasses as a carbohydrate source.

"The average pH of honey is 3.9, but can range from 3.4 to 6.1. Honey contains many kinds of acids, both organic and amino. However, the different types and their amounts vary considerably, depending on the type of honey. These acids may be aromatic or aliphatic (non-aromatic). The aliphatic acids contribute greatly to the flavor of honey by interacting with the flavors of other ingredients. Gluconic acid, for instance, is a flavor enhancer. The aromatic acids, such as malic acid, come mostly from the flowers, adding to the aroma and taste of the honey.

Honey can contain up to 18 of the 20 amino acids. However, amino acid content is almost negligible in honey, accounting for only 0.05–0.1% of the composition. The main acid is proline.
Organic acids comprise most of the acids in honey, accounting for 0.17–1.17% of the mixture. Gluconic acid is the most prevalent. Gluconic acid is formed by the actions of an enzyme called glucose oxidase. Other organic acids are minor, consisting of formic, acetic, butyric, citric, lactic, malic, pyroglutamic, propionic, valeric, capronic, palmitic, and succinic, among many others"

None of these acids and such are useful? I've heard acids and terpenes can have a very adverse effect on the mj.

"As an antimicrobial agent honey may have the potential for treating a variety of ailments. Antibacterial properties of honey are the result of the low water activity causing osmosis, chelation of free Iron, its slow release of hydrogen peroxide,^[67] high acidity,^[68] and the antibacterial activity of methylglyoxal.^[69]" BTW, these are from wikipedia.

i use it but not pure,helpful in keeping good microbes and keeping bad(anaerobic) microbes at bay.

mix with cornsyrup and or molasses.


but sugar is sugar and has no direct relation(nutrient or otherwise) to plants themselves. but as said the microbes can create different chemicals from the different sources of sugars cause different reactions(taste smell) to happen. i have used pure honey no problem but i prefer a mix as some sugars are more easily broken down.

but its not a nute you add this to activate the micribes which in turn activate or breakdown material(bone meal guano ect) in soil or tea that are nutes to feed plants

Basically a more effective breakdown and absorption of nutrients and inspiration of good microbial activity. I use pure cane sugar as a substitute for molasses, honey might provide an acceleration of these processes. Thank you for this info!
Any other suggested uses or proposed effects?

same thing sugar is sugar. you could use plain ol table sugar or powdered sugar or hell coconut meat. but some will work better than other mollasis is proven cheap and already full of beneficial stuff, if you go to the super market (not a garden store or feed shop) their molasses is shit(purified/filtered) and will be just as good as cornsyrup, but cornsyrup will be cheaper.

the effects are very simple it only affects? ?effect(you get the point) the bactiria in the soil that which in turns uses the carbs to generate chemicals (amongst other crap) that directly effect the plant.

Would honey inhibit stem rot?
